Bought my car at 18000 miles ex mobility ..seviced etc ....at 28000 had the most terrible and dangerous misfire and failure to accelerate....caused by them not having changed the air filter at the specified 18000 miles....the filter had been bent and sucked into the air inlet by the turbo bending it so the engine could get air over 2000 rpm ..

so if you get a misfire check the filter and change at the recomended interval
